Online/offline schedule
You can configure an online/offline schedule on the RLC to control when the
Remote Office 9150 unit can make and receive calls through the host PBX.
When the Remote Office 9150 unit is in offline mode, calls cannot be made or
received through the host PBX over the IP or PSTN.
You should configure offline entries:
n
for times when the connection to the host PBX should not be active, such as
during evenings and weekends
n
to prevent the Remote Office 9150 unit from staying online permanently,
thereby eliminating unwanted ISDN BRI charges
When the RLC processes an offline entry, it instructs the Remote Office 9150
unit to go offline for a specified number of hours and minutes. The number of
hours and minutes the Remote Office 9150 unit stays offline is the difference
between the offline entry being processed and the next online entry.
For example, an offline entry is configured at 6:00 p.m. The next online entry is
configured at 9:00 a.m. the following day. When the RLC processes the 6:00
p.m. entry, it instructs the Remote Office 9150 unit to go offline for 15 hours.
When going offline, a timer is activated within the Remote Office 9150 unit.
When the timer expires (in the example above, at 9:00 a.m.), the Remote Office
9150 unit automatically initiates a "going online" request to the host PBX. If the
RLC successfully receives the request, the Remote Office 9150 unit and its
connected telephones go online.
Changing the online/offline mode
Whether an online/offline schedule is used or not, you can put the Remote
Office 9150 unit into online or offline mode at any time by dialing the online or
offline SPRE code at any phoneset connected to the Remote Office 9150 unit.
The SPRE codes are configured on the Remote Office 9150 unit.
